<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1197371, member: 13307&quot;]My thoughts (and they&#039;re just my personal preferences):</p><p><br /></p><p>I liked the mouse-over for the reverse of the coin.&nbsp; I had no problems downloading the images at a Panera free WiFi hotspot.&nbsp; However, I was disappointed that I couldn&#039;t zoom in on the photo of the coin if I chose.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m unsure what the rating is for...I like the coin?&nbsp; I like the photo?&nbsp; It was at this point where I asked myself what the &quot;raison d&#039;etre&quot; of this website was (why is it there?)&nbsp; Am I giving feedback on the coin as a collectible series, or on the quality of the photograph?&nbsp; Maybe a more specific rating (something for the aspects of the photograph (exposure, sharpness, lighting), or give us choices of a few different shots of the same coin to choose from, or something like this.&nbsp; For me, this was the biggest issue - I would love to see a bunch of high-quality photos of coins - but the website, while functional, lacked direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoyed the coin facts at the bottom of the photo.&nbsp; I&#039;d love to see a &quot;history of this particular coin&quot; in addition to this.&nbsp; Perhaps also an optional query like &quot;Do you think this coin was cleaned?&quot; or &quot;Is this coin uncirculated?&quot; or &quot;What would you grade this coin?&quot;&nbsp; But then again, this would require an option to view higher quality photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with WingedLiberty on the banner.&nbsp; The website focuses on photos of coins...why not incorporate that motif into the overall design aspects?&nbsp; Instead of a small cartoon of a coin...shrink down a toned photo.&nbsp; I agree that simplicity is a goal here - because the website design shouldn&#039;t distract from the photos of the coins - but a beautiful photo of a coin is a reminder of why many coins are works of art and as such (IMO) should be surrounded by high-quality graphics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Instead of the scalloped edging at the top of the white area of the page, again, perhaps, something revolving around the coin photo motif.&nbsp; Plus, the edging is only on the top of the white area, not both sides.&nbsp; It feels asymmetrical to me, but not in a good way.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin search function was disappointing.&nbsp; I was hoping it would find photos of the coin I asked for.&nbsp; Having it search eBay is technically pointless...I could go to eBay and search for coins (and not get hits on on Morgan dollars by typing in &quot;1869 two cent piece.&quot;)&nbsp; BUT...having a search engine that would find photos of that particular coin would be really valuable.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoyed the statistics.&nbsp; However, with the 1834-P Capped Bust Half Dime, you list the business strike and proof mintage, but don&#039;t mention whether the coin is business or proof.&nbsp; I know the difference on this coin...but many in your audience might not.&nbsp; So, are the statistics for the coin in the photo, or the coin in general?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s all I can think of at the moment...KEEP GOING...I like where you&#039;re headed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
